Hi!
I'm announcing our new message board at http://www.cerebrumsoftware.com "> http://www.cerebrumsoftware.com for game players and developers to voice their opinions of what features should be programmed into next-generation RPGs. We got a great response from our initial postings, and our board is really starting to generate some amazing questions and answers from people who obviously love to play games.

Some of the current hot topics include:

Infinite object interaction (IOI) and the ability to use any and every object that you see on the screen

Weather, dynamics, and how it should affect gameplay

Economics, via monetary and barter-driven systems

Reality simulation, and the level of depth necessary for a next-generation game

New advanced character AI

Advanced multiplayer techniques

and a whole lot more!

We want to hear what the gaming world and the game development world is interested, and why. Drop by and read some posts... reply if you have something to say (and I'm sure you do
